Class 6 Mathematics Chapter 102: Practice Paper · Annual

Three hours, eighty marks, ten chapters

This paper reaches across the whole year, from patterns to negative numbers. Most of it comes from the second half.

Revise by solving

Do not reread ten chapters. Work a few questions from each instead. In Maths you learn a method by using it, and reading a worked example is not the same as working one.

Part A is twenty quick marks

Twenty questions of one mark. About half a minute each.

Part B wants a short answer

Twelve questions of two marks. Name the step you took, then give the answer.

Part C wants the working

Six questions of three marks. The steps carry marks of their own, so write the sum you did and not only the answer.

Part D is the applied question

Six marks in four parts, worth one, one, two and two. Read the measurements twice before you use them.

Part E is the long answer

Two questions of six marks. Plan each in the margin first.

Show your working everywhere

An answer alone can earn one mark out of three. The same answer with its steps earns all three, and a wrong answer with sound working still earns some.

Mind your units

A length is in centimetres or metres, an area in square centimetres or square metres. Writing square is not optional.

Check by working backwards

If you divided, multiply back. If you found a perimeter, add the sides again. It takes seconds and catches most slips.

Keep fifteen minutes back

Stop a quarter of an hour before the end and check that nothing is blank.

About this paper

This paper follows the pattern most schools use for an annual test. It is not a board paper. Class 6 has no board exam.
